"Zhien, is it hard to practice?" Before Chen Haoyu could figure it out, he was interrupted by the ringing of the phone. He took out the phone and saw the name flashing on the screen. Chen Haoyu made a silent expression to everyone.

"Brother Haoyu..." Lee Ji-eun's voice choked on the other end of the phone. After calling out Chen Haoyu's name, there was a constant sob.

"Zhien, what's wrong with you? Are you in the company?" Chen Haoyu's tone suddenly increased a lot.

"...In the company," Lee Ji-eun was silent for a while before answering.

"Wait for me, I'll come to the company to find you!" Chen Haoyu said hang up the phone and said goodbye to everyone in the practice room, then ran out quickly.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Chen Haoyu was doing, the girls were better, at least they knew who Lee Ji-eun was, while the boys looked completely confused.

"Haoyu must have something urgent. He will definitely explain to you when he comes back. We won't disturb you and continue practicing." Kim Taeyeon explained to the boys a few words and took the members of Girls' Generation to leave the dance practice room.

"This kid runs so fast, and Ji-eun calls again. He must have gone to save the princess and become a 'knight'!" The girls walked out of the practice room, and Lin Yuner said to herself.

"That's Haoyu's sister, so it's normal to care more!" Tiffany has been protecting him everywhere since he became Chen Haoyu's sister.

"I just think he just ran away like this. If the directors knew about it, there would be a problem. Isn't he preparing to debut now? Sister In-jing also left the group because of this." Lin Yun'er was not dissatisfied with Lee Ji-eun, but she felt that Chen Haoyu's run away like this would definitely make the directors of the company have a bad impression of him. It was not a big deal before, but now she is going to debut. She doesn't want any external factors to affect Chen Haoyu's debut.

The girls all agreed with Lin Yuner's statement, but they also knew that if Lee Ji-eun had something to do, Chen Haoyu would definitely give up the opportunity to debut at all costs. Chen Haoyu would make the same choice if they had something to do. This boy's personality is like this. Perhaps Chen Haoyu's understanding of himself is not as good as their understanding of him.

"Director Li shouldn't be misunderstood." Sunny saw that everyone was worried and accidentally let it go.

"How do you know?" Kwon Yuri turned her head and asked Sunny.

"Didn't Director Li bring him into the company? I think Director Li values ​​him very much. Even if something is passed on to Director Li, it should be no problem for Haoyu to explain clearly!" Everyone knows how Chen Haoyu entered the company at the beginning. Sunny's explanation seems to make sense, but the girls still prayed that Chen Haoyu would not be known to the company's management.

"Aren't we here to learn Chinese with Haoyu? He forgot when he interrupted it!" Choi Soo-young patted his forehead and said, and the girls remembered the original intention of finding Chen Haoyu here.

"I will teach you! I have also learned Chinese!" Kim Hyo-yeon said to the girls.

"Forget it, you have almost forgotten your Chinese. I don't expect any jokes when I am here!" Jung Soo-yeon teased Kim Hyo-yeon, and Hyo-yeon also laughed. It is normal that you don't have much chance to forget it.

Chen Haoyu came to Loen Company and saw Lee Ji-eun, who was standing at the company's door waiting for him from afar.

"Ji-eun, what are you doing outside in such a cold day?" Chen Haoyu blamed Lee Ji-eun with pity.

Lee Ji-eun raised his head, his red, swollen and bright eyes were shrouded in a layer of fog, and Chen Haoyu felt very distressed when he looked at the rainy look.

Chen Haoyu handed over a tissue and said, "Wipe your eyes, what's wrong with our little princess?"

Lee Ji-eun just stared at Chen Haoyu in a daze, and did not take the tissue handed over by Chen Haoyu. Chen Hao-eun had to do it himself. Unexpectedly, Lee Ji-eun turned his head and avoided Chen Hao-eun. Chen Hao-eun was also stunned. It seemed that the little girl was dissatisfied with him, but it seemed that she had not offended Ji-eun recently?

"Brother Haoyu, don't keep your word!" Li Zhien's stubborn expression was combined with a slightly angry words, and no matter how he looked, he looked like a sister who acted coquettishly towards his brother.

Chen Haoyu reached out to touch Lee Ji-eun's hair. This time, Lee Ji-eun did not dodge anymore. Chen Haoyu quickly used a tissue to carefully wipe the tears on Lee Ji-eun's cheek, "Tell me, when will my brother keep his word?"

"You said you were going to visit me in the company. After so long, have you been here except for the last time you gave me a gift? You are just a big liar!" Li Zhien felt very wronged. There were not many trainees in the company, and she had no friends in the company. Although the practice environment is much better than before, she still feels very lonely.

Chen Haoyu smiled bitterly. The girl's dissatisfaction turned out to be from this. "Don't I often call you and send text messages?" Chen Haoyu tried to defend his "scam behavior."

"Can you compare to calling yourself?" Li Ji-eun pouted and said to Chen Haoyu, who humbly accepted the opinion. This scene was very interesting. At the door of Leon Company, a boy with a height of 180cm was speechless by a girl with a height of 160cm.

Chen Haoyu dodged the curious eyes of passers-by and said, begging for mercy: "Zhien, let's change the place!"

Only then did Li Zhien realize that she had actually taught Chen Haoyu a lesson, and she also showed a hint of shyness.

"Agree to see me once a month from now on." Lee Ji-eun reached out to get in touch with Chen Haoyu. Chen Hao-yu smiled and did this action that he felt was a little childish.

"Ji-eun!" Chen Haoyu felt that Li Ji-eun might be a little bitch and act coquettish when talking in private, but he would definitely not cry like this just because he didn't see her. Something else must have happened.

Lee Ji-eun looked at Chen Haoyu, his eyes were still a little red and swollen, but his eyes were no longer covered by fog, and they were shining with diamond-like brilliance.

"Did you encounter something unhappy in the company?" Chen Haoyu and Li Ji-eun walked side by side. Their figures were reflected on the snow under the winter sunlight. They were so eye-catching. The extended shadows were tightly attached together, without a gap or a height distance.

"Yeah!" Lee Ji-eun nodded gently, with a hint of fatigue on his face.

Chen Haoyu took Li Ji-eun's hand and said, "Tell me what you don't have to do with me if you have any unhappy things. Maybe I can't solve the problem for you, but I will be your best listener!"

Lee Ji-eun slowly talked about the various situations she faced in the company. There were some conceptual differences in music understanding between her and the company's management. Lee Ji-eun was more inclined to have some songs that were cheerful and cute, while those people didn't think so. They wouldn't even listen to Lee Ji-eun's suggestions at all, but just asked her to practice and practice again. Lee Ji-eun had doubts about her musical dream for the first time. Is the result of this practice really what she has been pursuing? The long-term depression finally came out after her opinions were ignored again today.

Chen Haoyu encountered a problem that made him helpless for the second time. Compared to Park In-jing's withdrawal from the group, Lee Ji-eun's affairs were much simpler, but he was still powerless. As he said, he was the best listener. Could it be that he could only be the best listener in this life? A trace of perseverance flashed in Chen Haoyu's eyes, and his hands were dying.

"Brother Haoyu, you hurt me!" Lee Ji-eun shouted.

Chen Haoyu came to his senses and quickly let go of Lee Ji-eun's hand and rubbed it gently, "I'm sorry!"

Lee Ji-eun was also a little dazed just now. More than a year has passed, and he saw the kind of perseverance he had at the beginning, the figure that he had stood upright after falling to the ground again and again in order to protect her.

"Brother Haoyu, what are you busy with recently?" Li Ji-eun felt his cheeks getting hot, and changed the topic.

Chen Haoyu's heart skipped a beat. He practiced with the members until late these days. He was afraid of disturbing the girl's rest. He had never made a phone call. He just sent greetings text messages in a routine manner. In order not to arouse Lee Ji-eun's resentment, Chen Haoyu leaned into Lee Ji-eun's ear and whispered: "I'm preparing for a debut practice. The company will launch a new group next year."

Lee Ji-eun looked at Chen Haoyu incredible. All he said was the company's secrets. Chen Haoyu trusted her so much and actually told her secretly. Chen Haoyu, who was preparing to debut, ran out like this. Lee Ji-eun's heart was wrapped in a layer of softness. He asked in a low voice: "Brother Haoyu, am I too willful?"

"Wild-minded?!" Chen Haoyu didn't understand why Li Ji-en suddenly had such a word, "No, you said it's because I didn't count down, how can you blame you for being willful? Besides, my sister acted coquettishly and got angry at her brother, so she was cute, do you understand?" After Chen Haoyu said that, he stretched out his hand and scratched Li Ji-en's little nose.

"Brother Haoyu, you should go back to the company quickly!" Li Zhien felt that she had occupied too much time in Chen Haoyu, so he urged him to go back quickly.

"That won't work!" Chen Haoyu refused. He looked at Lee Ji-eun's anxious and helpless look and continued, "I must send Ji-eun back first!"

Chen Haoyu took out his cell phone while saying that, and he felt the vibration of the cell phone. This was a reminder for text messages.

"Haoyu, I'm not back yet. The president just inspected the practice room and your members said you went to the bathroom!" Lin Yuner sent a text message.

Before Chen Haoyu could make any reply, Lin Yuner's second text message followed, "Come to our practice room at 12 o'clock in the evening and bring your midnight snacks and Chinese textbooks. We want to learn Chinese from you. Come back quickly, with a limited time of 10 minutes!"

Chen Haoyu looked at the text message and couldn't help but think about what would be like if Lin Yuner said this in front of him, it should be very funny! Chen Haoyu had read the text message and handed his phone to Li Ji-eun, "Look, your sister Yuner is so willful!"

Lee Ji-eun looked at the text message on his phone, thought about what Chen Haoyu said just now, and glanced at him quickly. Chen Haoyu's expression clearly showed a kind of pleasure. Lee Ji-eun thought secretly in his heart. Sister Yoon'er was also cute in front of Brother Haoyu.

"Let's go!" Chen Haoyu took back his phone and took Lee Ji-eun's hand. The two of them took steps and ran towards Lee Ji-eun's company together.
